A boutique hotel style that I would expect to find in downtown Chicago or Dallas, not in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The rooms are large with fabulously comfortable beds. I really liked the Kruieg for the coffee. Only downside was that we left a note for housekeeping to leave extra coffee mugs, creamers etc for the next morning, but they didn't... More

This hotel is top of the line luxury in a very unsuspecting place! The staff goes above and beyond at every opportunity including cookies on your pillow from turn down service! The class act restaurant is the perfect spot for foodies to enjoy amazing creations served up by the students of the community college in the most professional manner. The... More

This is an amazingly modern, superbly designed and beautifully furnished hotel, part of the Summit Resort group. The rooms are large, quiet, and clean, with comfortable beds, fine linens, and super-modern bathrooms with high end fixtures. The north side rooms have huge wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows. Staffed by well-trained and very friendly students from the nearby Kirkwood Community College, this... More

This is a great place to stay if you're traveling and don't want to go into the city. Just off the highway, easy to get in and out of, adequate fast-food restaurants close by. Area seems to be just getting developed, so it looks like there will be lots more options in the future. Didn't dine in the hotel restaurant,... More

If you like contemporary architecture and decor, as I do, you'll love the Hotel at Kirkwood. It's staffed primarily by eager students in Kirkwood Community College's Hospitality program. I came to speak at a conference in the adjacent convention center. I was amazed to discover all the marble, ceramic tile, right angles, sculptural lighting, and chill ambient music. I enjoyed...

This was my first experience at The Hotel @ Kirkwood, and I was not disappointed. Hidden on the south side of Kirkwood Community College, just miles from the Eastern Iowa Airport, the hotel and restaurant serve another role as a working "lab and training ground" for the college's hotel/restaurant program students. They've spared no expense, the rooms are amazing, and... More

After reading the glowing reviews and the fact this was AAA's top rated hotel in Iowa, I was prepared for a disappointing letdown. Any trepidation was quickly laid to rest, my expectations exceeded beyond all measure. Barely three years old, the hotel's design and decor was ultra-contemporary, one could say futuristic, which in my experience is often metallic and cold.... More

This kind of hotel you wouldn't expect to find in Cedar Rapids. The food at the restaurant is out of this world, though they need to work on music and experience. Food is truly amazing as you will find dishes that don't exist in any Iowa town. I had a beet / Gorgonzola salad with shrimp. I had a flight... More

This is very nice upscale hotel, but still a few kinks to work out. My first impression is that It is a real cool trendy place. The rooms have all the latest gadgets and high end electronic controls, but I kept running into things that didn't work, etc. The issues I encountered with my room were: Hall light out Mirror...
